i think it would be nice to set with a cookie what time zone we would like to view the site in, if not then use the server default. i know there are mirrors out there with differnt timezones, but with this then you could just use whatever mirror is fastest.

is this feasible or useful?

(and btw i really love the scripting of this site, as a fellow webprogramer or atleast a wannabe one, i think its kickass)

If you're talking about the forums, then this feature is already in.

I think he means the main page.

The only problem with cookies is that the site is not "live". It is updated in the background and "published" each time the mirror is updated. You are, in effect, seeing a cached copy of the page. This reduces the server load, but means you can't used things like cookies to update what the page shows. See this thread for GHDpro's comment on the subject.
